Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics experimenting......what do you think???

Spray painted stock wheel covers white(to get an idea what white wheels look like on my car) and also painted plastic gutter guard(cause i had it already) for the grille. Personally it was to much white for the whhels but i kinda liked the grille. What does everyone think???

custom exhaust(soon to
be dual)
removed door trim

Looks good, although from this picture I can't really tell that the hub caps are white, they look kind of grey. I think if thats how they look than its pretty good. The grill defenetly looks good.

The grill looks good...the hub caps will always look like hub caps..try painting them with something really shiny and metallic...do they sell crome finish in a spray can? if so try that...theres a guy with a young america edition mystique around here who has white rims and says they are always dirty...so try to avoid white if thats what your thinkin.

I know a guy in Saskatoon with chromed 5-spoke wheelcovers. They are so shiny your eyes are drawn to them so most people don't notice they aren't really wheels. He said he paid $70 for a 4 pack. They even had a 4-bolt (fake) pattern. Look around, these really add to his car and with a dark color like your car has, they would be even better!

Ditch the wheel covers, YUCK

Finally, another contique owner with the same paint color as my mystique!...wait, that's a bad thing!!! Anyway, that's cool bro...I had an idea I posted a while back for someone looking to paint their SVT, exactly like that, midnight blue with white accents and rims. Now I know what it would really look like!! Get some real white rims, and maybe paint the parts where the fake chrome used to be on the bumpers white also, for some highlights. And if you're really daring, the black plastic at the base of the mirrors and the sail panels, atleast the border around them. Really nice man.
